we started one at my high school and the first meeting was today. About twenty players so far. It was really cool playing six way EDH with people I  see in classes every day

Plus my school is super small.

We had one last year, but it ended up falling apart because we only had about 6 people and they were all really busy. In a high school of only 200, though you can't expect too much.

We had a "Club" at my school.  Everyone knew there was a group of kids that play magic in the same spot during lunch everyday.  That's how we got about 3-4 people.  The other three I got into magic in the last month or so of chess club, that previously played yu-gi-oh.  They all liked it way more than yu-gi-oh.

Now to start one at college.  >:D

If I ever get into college. Mwhahaha. Wait I'll be a broke student and I'll have to keep my decks standard and up to date and un proxied and real... Damn it.

I tried to start one at my high school back in 96/97, but couldn't because the school rules stated that cards represented gambling. It got even worse when the principal did research and discovered ante cards and demon cards and angel cards etc...

It makes me sick when I hear about people with such illogical bias against a /game/. Like seriously you're going to give it spiritual meaning and power and oh no demon cards! Like really? It is what you make it. Sorry to hear that you had to put up with one of those people.

Mainly it was because the "ante" promoted gambling. The angels and demons promoted religious contexts. I was thinking that you outlaw anything that has to do with religion, yet you still offer a class on Greek Mythology? Seems hypocritical to me...

Used to play a good bit with two of my friends.
We used to have a good amount of magic players at our school, mostly all in the same class, but now that they've graduated I think we only have about 5 or so players.
Even so, fun times.

Had five or six people I'd play with during my senior year of high school.  We had a "study hour" with a teacher who didn't care, so we'd all just play mtg instead.  Then we graduated and everybody left me haha. Now I just keep one EDH deck and play online 😭

We gots a mtg club here at the University of Tampa

So second meeting was today. Almost FORTY FLIPPIN PEOPLE showed up. Had a good game of Modern and then destroyed a table at EDH and then got destroyed by a wonderful casual deck someone whipped ip

I run a daily lunch time group for gamers at my school with another teacher. The students are pretty vicious for the win, but the other teacher and I have been playing off and on since Revised, so we're just in it for the fun (usually still end up winning every game). We don't play any real format as each student has a different collection. There's a couple that play their standard decks, a handful have Modern decks, there's mainly casual decks and a select few only have Precon decks. Mostly the standards play standards, Modern v Modern and everyone else is all in.
On rare occasions, my buddy and I agree to a massive all in, which usually turns into an Archenemy situation where it's all the students vs us. Somehow we still win most of the time. Probably because they're all still playing in the 'guns a'blazin' style of inexperienced teens. But we're trying to teach them in our little country town without even an FNM anymore.
